If you happen to be a fan of Kevin Smith and you enjoy not only listening to the man speak but also watching him speak too, we’ve got some exciting news for you this week. His Secret Stash-based reality show Comic Book Men has been renewed for a second season by AMC, but even bigger than that is the news that Smith is launching his own internet television network. Many of the personalities you know and love from his SModcast podcast network will be taking part in regular video podcasts and debuting some new shows including Mewes News and ComicHead. The network is now live as of last week and Kevin Smith is continuing to slowly build himself a career outside of filmmaking. Hit the jump for the initial programming schedule and additional details regarding SModcast Internet Television.

Smith also promises a couple of additional shows that are in the works including Fat Man on Batman and the return of Jay Mewes’ roleplaying podcast Crimson Mystical Mages. Perhaps most intriguing of all is the mention of a new scripted series coming in 2013 entitled Kneel Before SMod. Could this be Kevin Smith’s way of ensuring that he continues to write and direct fictional material but on his own terms? Either way, there’s a lot of free content in the works here. Are you excited about Smith’s foray into internet TV or are you more interested in the audio podcasts? Is he potentially spreading himself too thin?

I think I’m done with Kevin Smith. It seems dude is more about quantity of content over quality at this point.
